Rondelet's 1554 Latin natural history of marine fishes, printed at Lyon by Matthias Bonhomme for physicians and naturalists, with woodcut fish portraits showing each species in profile against a faint printed text block. The pictures are crisp, outlined fish in side view with hatched scales, fins drawn as spiky fans, and no background, a clear model for a designer studying early scientific specimen illustration.
